Football scholarships remain one of the most competitive fields in the world of
sports scholarships, but full scholarships are more common in football than in any
other sport. These scholarships are heavily regulated by the NCAA, which means there
is a great amount of emphasis placed on not only talent but academic record as all
those awarded scholarships must meet certain GPA requirements.

Many larger schools will have recruiters aware of talent on high school football
fields, and marketing your skills has become an important piece of landing a football
scholarship. As a high visibility sport that is often used as a tool to raise fundraising
dollars from alums, those chosen for full rides at the big universities should consider
themselves part of an elite group of athletes. That said, schools where football
is not a way of life and more of a premium is placed on academics, it may be easier
to not only land a spot on the team but compete for scholarship money. Don’t rule
out smaller schools where factors like need come in when doling out available funding.
Most football scholarships will come directly from the college you’re attending.
